Finally found the guts to OC my 3200 Venice

Looks like i've gotten onto atleast a chip that can keep up with the rest - http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=60924

 

Wow not bad indeed
Is it in default voltage?
if it is then thumbs up dude

 

Yup stock voltage and Prime 95 stable over night

 

I love my venice chip. Now that I've got my uber water cooling setup, I'm hoping and wishing that I can get her to go as high as 3ghz.

 

3GHz erm.... quite impossible for 3200+ not unless you are using TEC or phase change

 

good try. same speed as mine now.

 

Bit of an update guys, i just got my hands on a Zalman CNPS7000 + the backplate needed for s939 motherboards - should go on some time during the weekend and then we'll see if my temps drop a little and go from there

 

What is your stock voltage btw, how come it doesn't show in your CPU-Z post?


Hope I can post mine soon too...

 

Stock voltage is 1.39 or so says CBId

 

Well the cooler is on and its seen a nice 10C drop along with some as5

 

nice!!!

 

Ok another update, after leaving the machine folding over night i've seen load temps only get to about 36-38C Much better than the stock cooler and even better considering the heatsink cost me nothing at all

 

Have you considered popping off the IHS? A 3500+ (single core disabled manchester sold as normal AMD64 3500+) stock running on a CM Aquagate mini R120 wif IHS off idles at 32C. The same 3500+ and same cooler with IHS on idles at 38C. However, if you decide to pop the IHS, you gotta file down the legs of your bracket to mount a normal heatsink properly. I had to file the Aquagate legs about less than 3mm to compensate for the height of the removed IHS. It was worth it. Previous max was 2.65ghz 1.45Vcore. After IHS removal, running 2.8Ghz stable at same Vcore.

Please read more about IHS removal if u decide to do it. For the safety of your new processor.

 

I looked removing IHS a few weeks after getting the chip but changed my mind as i didnt have the money if i screwed it up

 

Yeah I think for most people the advantages wouldn't outweigh the benefits

 

Not bad I can get my 3000+ to 2.5GHz @ 1.4V also. How far have you OC'd that 3200+? Also why did you drop the cpu multiplier? More memory bandwidth?

 

Ok so i had a bit of a play around to see how far i could go before having to drop the ratio... 2.4ghz @ 1:1 seems to be about it but it does feel faster - http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=90784
